A court in Melborne heard how a
Tanzanian father dressed his young daughters in ballerina dresses before killing them..Before
that, he had Googled ‘how to kill my ex-wife’,
Charles Amon Mihayo, 36, has pleaded
guilty to murdering four-year-old Savannah and three-year-old Indianna on
Easter Sunday. Mihayo dressed the girls in ballerina dresses and filmed them
dancing to ‘Let It Go’ from the movie Frozen before smothering them with a
pillow, bathing and redressing them and then calling police.
There was ongoing hostility between
Mihayo and his ex-wife regarding access to the children, and he was filled with
rage when he found out the girls’ mother had a new partner, and killed the
girls as revenge.
The court heard after the
relationship broke down, Mihayo told a co-worker he had been thinking about
ways to kill his ex-wife and get away with it but he would make sure his
daughters were in a safe place.
Four days before the girls died he
Googled ‘how can I kill my ex-wife’,
His defence lawyer Mr Marsh said it
wasn’t premeditated..
That just happened, it just happened right then and there.’
Mr Marsh said Mihayo indicated he
decided to kill the girls while they were playing hide-and-seek, after dancing.
‘Mr Mihayo instructs he was consumed by a particular
thought, a particular idea, and made the decision to kill the children,..He had
indicated ‘some particular horror’ that his children would grow up not knowing
their father, as he himself had done,.
He had earlier told the police
‘”I thought, well, if the kids are not there, they are not
going to suffer the way I suffered, knowing their dad is somewhere but you
never get to see him”,
